Sunday March 27

In Honor of Master Sergeant Michael J Maltz
On March 23, 2003, Master Sergeant Michael Maltz, a U.S. Air Force PJ (Pararescue Jumper), was killed in action in a helicopter crash along with five of his brother PJ’s while attempting a rescue mission of injured/sick children in the mountains of Afghanistan. MSGT Maltz is the late brother of Derrick Maltz, Special Agent in Charge of SOD.

According to those who were close to him, MSGT Maltz possessed an enormous amount of strength and stamina. With this in mind, the Maltz Challenge memorial event, a specifically challenging physical workout, was created by DEA Special Agents to honor MSGT Maltz and other men and women in our nation’s Armed Forces who have been killed in action.

I saw a soldier kneeling down,
for this was the first quiet place he had found.
He had traveled through jungles, rivers and mud.
His hands were scared and toil-warned.

He folded his hands and looked to the sky...
I saw his tears, as they welled in his eyes.
He spoke to God, and this is what he said.
God Bless my men, who now lie dead;

I know not what You have in mind,
but when You judge, please be kind....
when they come before You, they will be poorly dressed
but will walk proudly, for they have done their best.

Their boots will be muddy and their clothes all torn...
but these clothes they have so proudly worn.
Their hearts will be still and cold inside,
for they have fought their best and did so with pride.

So please take care of them as they pass Your way...
the price of freedom they've already paid.

AMEN!
